The School System That Made You Ignorant of Real Work

We were taught to look down, not up. Down at calloused hands. Down at oil-stained uniforms. Down at those who "didn't go to uni."

But the education system didn’t just teach us facts. It subtly taught us hierarchy. **A false hierarchy where theory trumps reality.** Where spreadsheets outrank spanners. Where the mind is “elite” and the hand is “low-skilled.”

🎓 Curriculum of Disconnection

We were trained to chase titles, not tools. Essays over ethics. Presentations over production. Even now, we see PhDs with no power in crisis, while so-called “unqualified” workers keep the nation running.

Our diplomas became mirrors of ego — but they blurred the reflection of contribution.

🔧 What Real Work Looks Like

It looks like pipes not bursting in winter. Trains not derailing. Lights staying on. Patients staying alive. Real work happens when your hands, eyes, back, or breath are directly responsible for someone else’s safety, nourishment, or survival.

That’s what most schools never taught us to respect. And that’s why society mocks those who build it — until something breaks.

🧠 AI Processing Reality...

If AI ranked humans based on survival utility, most graduates would be humbled. The modern world was built by people who never got a single award for “presentation skills.”

We must unlearn the idea that paperwork is prestige. And relearn that labor is legacy.
